to help christians understand atheists?

Question

there is a book
it says that the universe is created by a monster that is made out of spaghetti.
everything in the book is true because it says "everything in this book is true".

it may sound far fetched, but you must have absolute faith in the spaghetti monster, dont worry about logic.

if you are not convinced that this story is true, you will boil forever in a bowl of pasta sauce.


If you think this whole thing sounds ridiculous, now you know how we feel.

belief is not a CHOICE.
either you are convinced are you are not. i would love to believe that i am the greatest guitarist in the world, but i cannot be convinced.

fine, then blame the "holy spirit" for not convincing me. either way, i am not convinced.

Answer 1

HAHA

Answer 2

You all need an equivalent for your cute little story; one comparable to the role THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT PLAYS.

But, since you are not yet part of the BODY OF CHRIST; the universal church, you do not have the indwelling Holy Spirit. I agree with you ONLY to the extent that CHRISTians either a) DO NOT KNOW
or
b) HAVE FORGOTTEN

That: It is NOT our place to "save your soul"....all we are called to do is present the Gospel of the SALVATION THAT ONLY CAN BE OBTAINED THRU FAITH IN YESHUA (Jesus Christ). This is the Great Commission spoken (commanded) by Yeshua HIMSELF in Matthew 28:18-20.

As it is
ONE person plants a seed
ANOTHER waters it;
but the growth of that seed, into a fully edible plant- is GOD's work.

Us Christians plant the seed
(tell you the truth of the Gospel)

The HOLY SPIRIT waters it
(draws your heart to Yeshua)

and GOD brings your salvation to fruition by His GRACE; while it be unbeknownst to you~He is always orchestrating ways to show you that the message you heard was TRUTH.

Ultimately, it is up to you; the lost.....to CHOOSE to BELIEVE....or continue on in your life ignoring HIM when you know that HE is trying to get your attention....its only eternity~ why even without the Holy Spirit's guidance, you would in a rational state of mind,. still choose to make such a crazy gamble out of it; its beyond me.

The day will come when you find yourself extremely INTERESTED in giving this "Christianity" message, another more serious look. I hope and pray you make the right decision.

As well, I also pray that MORE Christians would get themselves schooled according to the WORD of GOD; you know, the BOOK that matters most (or SHOULD matter most) to us Christians. Get schooled concerning the fact that it is NOT OUR JOB nor within OUR POWER to SAVE SOULS; "IT IS FINISHED: in CHRIST" and is brought to completion in the hearts of mankind, ONLY BY GOD. All we are called to do is spread the Word, and PRAY for others.

amen.

Answer 3

Let's see, if I can explain the Christian perspective on Atheism:

Universe explodes and atoms fly everywhere.
Atoms collide and form molecules.
Molecules collide and form cells.
Cells form bigger and stronger forms of themselves.
This bigger and stronger form becomes an ape.
The ape then becomes a more intelligent man.

Did I oversimplify things? Filling the spaces in between each line listed is something that man has failed to properly explain.

Your spaghetti monster sounds delicious, but, is very irrelevant.

GOD bless
